Popping in for a minute in support of The Blogger’s Quilt Festival. This visual gallery of quilts is the brainchild of Amy Ellis. Amy and I both started blogging around the same time and like other quilters that have continued to share their work online, our blogs have served as a wonderful journal documenting our artistic growth and evolution.
This virtual festival celebrates and spreads our love of ALL quilting. You chose which category to place your quilt submission into. ‘Modern,’ ‘traditional,’ and everything in between are defined by the artists themselves.
It was a tie for me this year between BIG Tossed Hearts and my No/Know Twin Quilts. I couldn’t single down the No/Know Quilts to one, so I went with BIG Tossed Hearts.
I’ll place this quilt under original design, though I certainly think it could go under modern or scrappy quilts.
I have a whole write up about this lovely quilt here if you want to know more about its improvisational conception.
If this crazy piecing technique appeals to you then I’ve got another quilt created using it here. As you can see some other layouts I’ve managed to get somewhat out of my head and into fabric. It really never ends.
I hope that you take part in the festival either voting or entering. Regardless let’s spread the love of this art. I always find some new blogs to follow and hope you do too:)
Happy day Peeps.
I love how you play with fabrics!
Thanks! That’s where all the fun is;)
I love those tossed hearts.
Thanks Pat. I heart them too;)
This is a great choice for the festival. I love the way they background is pieced and adds so much depth to those lovely, scrappy hearts.
Thanks Marla! It’s my favorite part too;)
